After winning enough money to make a person's heart skip a beat, $14 million, in a California lottery last fall Velasquez, a retired postmaster, and his wife wanted to put a portion the money toward something that would benefit the community, Velasquez said.

He didn't ask for it, but Velasquez's son Tony, an EMT for the fire department, mentioned the need for a good heart monitor.

Velasquez and his wife decided to donate one, and said he was just happy they were blessed with the ability to do so.

"It's like the Cadillac of heart monitors," Velasquez's son said.

Sapeta said the monitor can identify a heart attack, as well as carbon monoxide levels and oxygen in a person's blood stream. The machine also has the capacity to send the information via email to hospitals.
